And The Beat Goes On!

Hello :) Yesterday was our 2nd prenatal appointment with the primary intent of hearing baby Tan's heart beat via doppler. Boy did we hear it!!! It was the most simplest of procedures. After peeing in a cup, waiting about 30 minutes in the waiting room, being ushered into an examination room, a nurse walked in put a small stethoscope looking object on the lowest part of my abdomen and voila! There my Mr Tan and I were listening intently on the most beautiful sound we've heard thus far-evidence of life. Our little baby's heart beat was quite rapid. I've read that some think of galloping horses when they hear their baby's heart beat. Shaun personally thought it sounded like an extraterrestrial sound captured on a radar somewhere in outer space. Now that I think of it almost sounds like the laundry machine in the middle of a cycle. Haha! Again, we are so incredibly humbled and yet ever so grateful for this beautiful little gift that He has bestowed upon us.
